This is the Bourbon Fettucine Gumi Tsubu Tsubu Kiwi, made with kiwifruit juice from concentrate and containing actual kiwifruit seeds.
Each gummy measured approximately 4.5 × 1.2 × 0.5 cm, with a yellow-green colour and visible black specks embedded within, coated in a layer of sugar crystals.
The gummies released a vivid sweet kiwifruit aroma. On tasting, the sugar crystals delivered a distinct ‘al dente’ snap on first bite, immediately followed by a mellow kiwifruit sweetness. This then developed into a juicy, tangy acidity mid-bite and lingered as an aromatic finish, closely mirroring the layered flavour profile of a green kiwifruit. The combination of sugar crystals and kiwifruit seeds provided continuous texture throughout, enhancing the chew of the elastic gummy while introducing a light nuttiness that added further dimension to the tart-sweet profile. The overall experience was well-balanced, texturally interesting, and true to the character of fresh kiwifruit. It offered a compelling chew and a flavour that warranted repurchase.
This Bourbon Fettucine Gumi Tsubu Tsubu Kiwi contained 47 g. It was produced in Japan and purchased in Tōkyō, Japan in 2024.
